Pre-Employment Screening

Our experience has found that poor employee screening practices often result in lost productivity, theft, and, in some cases, workplace violence, which can cost lives, damage company's reputation, and significantly lower future earnings. KlinkCheck assists companies in mitigating these risks. We assist you by implementing a compliant Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) pre-screening program for all of your employees, from the intern, to the CEO.

Just a Few Reasons to Screen Your Employees:

• The average organization loses about 6 percent of its total annual revenue to fraud and abuse committed by its own employees.
• The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that employee fraud costs $600 billion annually.
• About 44 percent of applicants lie about work experience; 23 percent fabricate credentials; and 41 percent lie about education.

Levels of Screening
Courts have stressed that pre-employment screening must be reasonable with regard to the applicant’s job responsibilities and to the potential risk of harm or injury to third parties and/or the public. Generally, employees with direct access to company assets and significant public exposure such as CFOs, stock brokers, nursing home personnel, service and repair technicians, and other employees require an employer to conduct a more thorough screening.
